A CTTyZEN,S RIGHIS ABROAD.

Secretary Bayard attached great importance
to the principle involved in the Cutting case.
An American citizen publishing newspaper
in Mexico was tiled and imprisoned there
for libel ON u rival editor pub ished IN the
United States. Secretary Bayard displayed
great energy in this case. in his letter OF
July ~, 1856, to the American Minister he
declared that the United States could not
assent to or permit the existence of such
extra territorial force to be given to Mexican
law, nor their own jurisdiction to b. so
usurpcd, nor their own local justice to be so
yicarollsly executed by foreign Govern
ment.s The Secretary considered the case to
be one of cNHeme importance and sent
special envoy to Mexico TO report on the law
and the facts. The President in his last
message took an equally serious view OF this
claim of extra jurisdiction, rcmaiking that the
admission of such prctcnsion would be
attended with serious results invasive OF
the jurisdiction of this Government and highly
dangerous to American citizens in foreign
lands. "1herefope," he added, 81 have
denied il, and protested against its attempted
exercise, as unwarrantcd by the principles OF
law and international usages.'
The Administrations interest in this sub
iect seems to have been short-live The
same principle of eytIa-terIitoral jurisdiction
is involved in the Pouble case in an aggravated
form and the State Department has neither
repeated its protest nor taken active measures
for the protection of an American citiLrn
whose rights have been wantonly assailcd by
the Spanish authorities. Poublc is a natural
lied American who was arrested in Cuba and
tn i'm
life at hard labor. lie was travelling at the
time with an American passport and at the
trial there was no allegation by
the Crown officials that he had
violated any provision OF law while in Cuba.
The offences for which he was punished were
committed while no was on American sol!
and were alleged to be solely of a political
nature. lie vas charged with having inst-
gated or aided the Aguer0 revolutionary
movement in 1884 while a resident of this
city, but there was no direct evidence OF his
completely in the movement. He edited
newspaper here, sometimes made speeches at
public meetings, and was known to be IN
sympathy with the cause OF Cuban lndepcn-
dence Practically, he has been convicted
and imprisoned for life for holding certain
political opinions and writing newspaper
articles on American soil. Tbs is a claim of
extr;l-territOri4 jurisdiction much more mon
st1ous than that involved in the Cutting case.
The Administration, instead of intervening
actively on behalf Of Pc BILE, has contcntcd
itself with a formal and perfunotory inquiry
and has shown Itself to be Indifferent 10 his
fate.
Poubie's counsel, in their argument before
the Spanish tribunal, made the point that
under the criminal code the court was without
jurisdiction to take cognizance of conspracics
conducted in foreign countries by foreigners

II was not until the year 1900 that
Americans began 10 make their own UNI

umbra, which means a shade, but thu
name, most probably, was introduced
into the English language from the Ital-
ian word umbrella. PaTasol means ito

name, not much used by Americans for

and jewels.
The umbrella traces its descent 20 the

times that the umbrella has been con.
verted into the parapulie. Those OF our
